Yes, this is an older system! So old, it would appear that the model number isn't found in the current database. Reading the tags on the bottom of the system:
Service tag M2105US
Notebook Model: Presario M2000 (EC214UA#ABA)
While I have the manual for this machine, what I don't have, and can't find through an official HP channel is the Bios for this system. At current, via the bios it's shown to be:
BIOS VERSION: F.0A
Why is this important? Well 1: I don't know if that's the 'current' version for it. And more importantly, 2: I'd like to know what bios is compatible with the other possible CPU's for this machine.
(Currently using the Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+ (1.60-GHz)
Want to use the Mobile AMD Sempron 3300+ (2.00-GHz) or AMD Mobile Turion 64, ML-37 (2.0-GHz) - don't know which is the proper choice - and which bios supports which)
I can see that this machine is no longer 'supported' by HP Compaq :https://support.hp.com/us-en/retired-products
So the question is, is there an archive of what was used, etc. etc.
For the sake of helping out any other rare person seeking this same information a direct answer to the following would be preferred:
X Bios for Y Processor
And/Or
X Processors can be used on Z Models
This machine is a BEAST and has been ticking without issue for over ~14 years. It's why I continue to recommend Compaq/HP products to people. Hopefully the community here can help me identify what bios the.
Seriously - this battery still holds a charge (all be it for 1hr 30 min max...but a charge nonetheless!)
Thank you all for your help and investigation!
